Oh, crumbs, is THAT a question! My answer is going to be a long way from being perfect, so be warned:
Protestantism tends to be highly individualistic, since it says that all men can have a personal relationship with God. This wound up meaning that lots of peasants and working-class people and city boys started to think that feudalism wasn’t such a great idea.
Religion gave kings and princes a brand new reason to go to war against each other. They did this so much that they had to invent whole new ways of conducting warfare: instead of buying off mercenaries left and right, and calling up aristocratic levies, armies and kings actually had to (gasp!) centralise! This undercut the feudal system too.
After people decided that they’d had enough of religious warfare, they decided around 1648 that although they might make life difficult for a Dissenter in their country, they weren’t going to wholesale murder them. It wasn’t worth the effort.
People thinking that they could be theologically correct led to a proliferation of sects
The argument about whether Church or State should be stronger took on a completely different form
The Scots started teaching everybody to read and write so that they could read the Bible. Later on, the Welsh and the New Englanders did the same.
Politics took on more of a grassroots dimension that in some cases were actually successful (kind of). Case in point, English Civil War.
I guess you could say it changed Europe like the Sixties changed America - changes of heart and mind that went in all sorts of intellectual and theological directions.
